33% of the land in the United States is forested (745 million acres of 2.263 billion acres) (reference 1). From that same source, Canada has 417.6 million forested hectares, of 921.5 million hectares total. Note that the Canadian area is measured in hectares, while the American area is in acres- make the conversion if needs be. Anyway- as a percentage, it works out to 45.3% forested in Canada.
US: 33% forest
Canada: 45.3% forest
